Welcome to the Home for wayward and misbegotten creatures run by the evil Miss Carbunkle, who believes her terrified young charges exist only to serve and suffer. For the Wonderling, a one-eared ‘groundling’ - a mix of fox and boy - the Home is all he has ever known.
But when unexpected courage leads him to protect a young bird groundling, Trinket, the two friends escape from the Home and embark on an extraordinary quest that will leave readers with a head full of wonder and a heart full of song.
